This thread is great, and the word nurse could be replaced with many excellent clinical professions. We aren’t here for ego, it’s not even about us, it’s about the people we care for. Great thread 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Nurses who progress into advanced/consultant nursing practice threaten the status quo. They challenge the myth that nurses are simply passive handmaidens or angels who don't need a degree. Nursing is a self-governing & rapidly advancing profession. Let's talk about it. 1/14 🧵

Has anyone else been pinged by the HCPC this year? I’ve submitted my portfolio but it still says it needs action - do i need to do anything else?
Lovely evening at my neighbours wedding. I danced with a lady i attended 1.5 years ago with multiple spinal fractures following an RTC. I wasn’t particularly sure she had a spinal injury, but my gut said immobilise -and i’m damn glad i did! 🕺💃
**North Wales Primary Care Clinicians***: Please can you code your observations during your consultations - its really useful during my ambulance shifts as it means I can see what observations are normal for that patient which therefore helps me provide better care.

#Paramedics and ❇️FIT NOTES❇️ Please respond to this @DWPgovuk consultation. gov.uk/government/con… @CoP_PrimUrgCare @ParamedicsUK @Chris_Riggers @nandimedics Pls RT, share with colleagues and employers. (Pay attention to Q21)
Its alway lovely to receive thank you letters from patients, but i’m particularly chuffed to have received two on the same day! #plaudit
Pretty chuffed to have passed my prescribing exam! 💊🎓🤓
@richyroo212 Cheers RichyD! Hope HART life is treating you well!
Last minute cram before my final exam at 12 💊📚🎓
Pretty chuffed to have passed my OSCE after only 7.5 hours between shifts and less than 6 hours sleep. Just over a week to go until i’m finished 🤓💊🩺
15.5 hour shift today. Dreading my 06:45 alarm for the GP surgery tomorrow 😴

As our summers get warmer some of our people have asked for shorts to be provided as part of our uniform. I’m pleased to say that #TeamWAST will soon be able to access shorts for use at work in the summer months to make working in the hot weather more comfortable.

Great opportunity to progress in research but remain clinical if you wish. Paramedic Senior Research Fellow 0.4 FTE working with a great team (I'm bias-it's my team😂). I'm committed to increasing opportunities to combine a research career with clinical so secondment is an option
@padraic90 Thanks, I utilise the calgary-cambridge model to structure my consultations, however I am wanting the reference how I am documenting my consultation using this structure: PC/HPC/PMH/DH/Allergies/SH/FH/SR
Does anyone know the original reference for the medical model of history taking? The structured PC/HPC/PMH/DH/Allergies/FH/SH/SR approach
@Terranova_CFMB I may have to hola you Emma, i’ve not done it before. I think CoP is doing some guidance on how to do it. I‘ve certainly completed enough CPD its just presenting it how they would like it that concerns me 🙈
Unfortunately they day has finally come - I’ve been pinged during my renewal 😔 #ifyouknowyouknow
@Amb_Jon When I renewed there was a CPD audit area left to fill in, it wouldn’t confirm renewal until it is complete 😔
